作文思路：通过阐述环境污染，说明造成的严重后果。作文要点：着重突出环境污染造成的严重后果。由于人们对工业高度发达的负面影响预料不够，预防不利，导致了全球性的三大危机：资源短缺、环境污染、生态破坏。Due to people's lack of expectation of the negative impact of highly developed industry and adverse prevention， there are three global crises: shortage of resources， environmental pollution and ecological 环境污染指自然的或人为的破坏，向环境中添加某种物质而超过环境的自净能力而产生危害的行为。Environmental pollution refers to natural or man-made destruction， adding a certain substance to the environment and exceeding the self purification capacity of the 由于人为因素使环境的构成或状态发生变化，环境素质下降，从而扰乱和破坏了生态系统和人类的正常生产和生活条件的现象。Because of human factors， the composition or state of the environment changes and the quality of the environment declines， which disturbs and destroys the ecosystem and the normal production and living conditions of human 扩展资料污染特点——环境污染是各种污染因素本身及其相互作用的结果。同时，环境污染还受社会评价的影响而具有社会性。它的特点可归纳为：（1）公害性，环境污染不受地区，种族，经济条件的影响，一律受害。（2）潜伏性，许多污染不易及时发现，一旦爆发后果严重。（3）长久性，许多污染长期连续不断的影响，危害人们的健康和生命，并不易消除。
